Seniorities really hurts any desire to study for anything.

 

Is that the one the guy posted where his wife was driving?

 

Not sure, I just saw it pop up on my feed.

I took the drivers seat on my 99 model and had an upholster add foam to make more cushion.

 

Wow no kidding, doesn't look like you hit it at all b sides the long crack I see. I wonder if being from out of the US if it makes the insurance side of things more challenging. More importantly i am glad that you haven't alluded to being hurt, if only your pride.

 

Hmmm

 

Where do I want my oil to be on the dipstick? And I check while it’s running right? V6. It’s starting to shift weird on its own randomly. I think I put in too much the other day.

edit: Right now it’s to about here. So not enough? Checked while running and hot.

 

Not injured per se. A little upper right chest and shoulder discomfort and tightness immediately following the incident that turned into some soreness the following day. I suspect it was from the jolt through my arms from trying to force the steering wheel to stop me better.

 

damn Jeff Beck died. Rock icon

 

Oh FFS. NO. Let's not start 2023 off with a bunch of famous kickin' the can into oblivion. Sucks.

 

bacterial meningitis, I didn't realize he was 78 but at that age a bad infection like that is bad news.

 

78 already. Damn. time flies by.

 

This is how I did it when I did the pan drop.

Check when cold. Fill to cold level. Start engine. It's going to drop. Get in and shift through the gears. Re-check with engine running. Fill to cold level. Once back at cold level, start driving.

Get it up to operating temp and recheck with engine running. Fill until in the hot range.

recheck in a day or two... engine running and at op temp.

 

Spotted this little narrow bed at work today. Rare around here.

 

Got it. So then it’s probably a little low, and I didn’t shift through all the gears prior. So it’s probably even lower? Can low fluid cause random downshifting?

 

It can cause slipping which would feel like a downshift

 

@Wulf With seat jackers I have all kinds of legroom in the 470.

 

Am I the only one who kinda likes this old man tan color? I looked at one last year very similar to this one but it had some sort of Ziebert undercoating and he'd had it in Ohio for several years so I walked away.

 

are you an old man
